Raiders C Rodney Hudson was dominant in 2018

You can make a strong case that Raiders’ center Rodney Hudson should have been a consensus All-Pro this season after playing every single snap for Oakland. You can make an even stronger case that Hudson should have been in the Pro Bowl.

However, neither of those happened and Hudson was easily the biggest snub for each award. Due to the Raiders’ lack of success this season, he was largely forgotten by the Pro Bowl voters.

That doesn’t mean others didn’t take notice of his fantastic season. According to Pro Football Focus, Hudson allowed just one pressure for every 122 pass-blocking snaps. Only one other center in the league (Mitch Morse) could even come remotely close to that efficiency from Hudson.

As the Raiders retool their offense this offseason, Oakland fans should rest easy knowing they have one of, if not the best center in the entire league on their roster. If Kelechi Osemele and Gabe Jackson can both return to full health, this is still one of the best interior offensive lines in all of football. Hudson doesn’t get a lot of national attention, but he is one of the best offensive linemen in the entire NFL.
